Europe Countries & US States Max Elevation Sorting Challenge

You begin with two Europe countries/US states shown in the grid. Upon starting, your job is to sort the countries/states in order from largest to smallest by max elevation (so countries/states with the highest max elevation first). The order is represented by the '1st' thru '16th' in each box. You can click on a country/state to move it to a higher position in the list - simply click once and it will turn red, then clicked another higher-ranked country/state to position the first country/state before it. Click submit to check your answers...if they are in order you will get a new country/state added to the end which needs to be positioned correctly, and so on until you either get one wrong or complete all 15 levels.

PLEASE NOTE: Only the portions of each country geographically in Europe are counted to determine the highest points. So no Asian portion of Turkey/Russia, African portion of Spain/Portugal, Greenland, etc.

US River Cities – Choose River

First, name one of the following major rivers: Arkansas, Colorado (the one beginning in CO, not TX) , Columbia, Hudson, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Rio Grande or Snake by simply entering it. Then, name the cities along that river - a city is along the river if its US Census boundary intersects with the river. Cities are sorted along by coordinates which are either E-W or N-S depending on the direction of the river - they may not all be exactly in order along the river's path, they are ordered by latitude or longitude.

US State Parks – Choose State

First enter any state by typing its abbreviation (e.g. 'CA') - then, name all of that state's state parks. In general, this is just going to be 'State Parks' and 'State Historic/Historical Parks' - however a handful of states such as Alaska only classify a few like this so I include areas like State Recreation Areas as well. There is no time limit on this quiz.

Naming notes: You typically must be precise naming the parks, including words such as 'Lake' or 'Canyon' - some shortened names are accepted. For parks named after people, usually the last name will suffice.
